Overdose on multi-vitamins?

I have these delicious sour gummi multivitamins. I want to eat them.

Specifications -- 2 gummies = 1 serving.

Per serving.

Vitamin A -- 40%
Vitamin C --50%
Vitamin D -- 50%
Vitamin E -- 67%
Vitamin B6 -- 50%
Folic Acid -- 50%
Vitamin B12 -- 83%
Biotin -- 25%
Pantothenic Acid -- 50%
Iodine -- 27%
Zinc -- 17%

Sorry for the long post, It's just that I either eat them now or throw them away tomorrow night... Can anything harmful occur by eating a bunch of them?
Well I had about 8 before I thought about negative things. This is indeed a one time thing though.

I do NOT care about the effects of long-term overdose, mainly because there will not be long term overdose.

Supplement mixture, any dangers, warnings, or suggestions for better methods?

First off, I'll start by saying that I have Vitiligo, so Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, and Folic Acid are a mixture I've been told can help the condition, my body has trouble absorbing them. Never the less, I started taking these supplements which I'll list with their dosages. My question is in several parts because I don't know much about supplements. First, the mixture I will describe below, is it in any way dangerous? Any warning(s) you might have for me? Secondly, I know B12 is as difficult vitamin to absorb, especially for someone who likely has a hard time absorbing it to begin with. Will taking a B12 lozenge work, or should I just jump right in and go for the shots? Thanks in advance for the help, and below is the list and dosages

1) Vitamin B12 Lozenge 1000 mcg (1 daily)
2) Lutein 6 mg (1 daily)
3) Folic Acid 800 mcg (2 daily)
4) Milk Thistle Extract 175 mg (2 daily)
5) Vitamin C Chewable 500 mg (2 daily)
6) Flax Seed Oil 1000 mg (2 daily)
7) Veggie Complete (2 daily) -no dosage given-
8) Fruit Complete (2 daily) -no dosage given-

Thanks!
